CAUTION:
To prevent card damage and ensure correct operation, LPUs can only be used with switching fabric
modules of the same type.
•
Type T LPUs have a character
T
in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGQ36
T
D1). Type T
switching fabric modules have a character string of
SFT
in their card identifier (for example,
LSXM1
SFT
16E1).
•
Type H LPUs have a character of
H
in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGQ36
H
B1).
Type H switching fabric modules have a character string of
SFH
in their card identifier (for
example, LSXM1
SFH
16C1).
•
Type F LPUs have a character of
F
in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGP12
F
X1). Type
F switching fabric modules have a character string of
SFF
in their card identifier (for example,
LSXM1
SFF
16C1).
For the compatibility between the switch and the LPUs (also called interface modules), see
"Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes."
The S12501X-AF and S12502X-AF switches support only S12500X-AF Type H LPUs.
Installing S12500-X LPUs
The S12500X-AF switch supports only FX and FE series S12500-X LPUs. To install an S12500-X
LPU on the switch, first install an interface module adapter in the LPU slot.
CAUTION:
For heat dissipation of the switch, you must install an LPU in the slot where an interface module
adapter is installed. If you are not to install an LPU in the slot, remove the interface module adapter
and install a filler panel.
Installing an interface module adapter
1.
Remove the filler panel from the target slot. See callout 1 in
.
Keep the removed filler panel secure for future use.
2.
As shown in
, align the adapter rear with the LPU slot and push the adapter slowly
along the guide rails into the slot.
3.
As shown by callout 2 in
, use the screws provided with the interface module adapter to
secure the adapter to the chassis.
